About the City

About Funchal

Funchal is the largest city on the island of Madeira and is encapsulated by Pico Ruivo and its neighbouring mountains, which look as if they have been seamlessly carved into the skyline by a Lusitanian God.

There is no better spot to start your holiday than in the Old Town, which illustrates its personality though street art, architecture and busy local businesses. There are many fine eateries, botanical gardens, a cathedral and impressive museums. Perhaps hop on the Madeira Cable Car as one of your first activities, as this will give you a great idea of the islands size.

Many flock Funchal in order to enjoy the Atlantic Coastline. This is home to its prominent harbour, where hundreds of boats and yachts, some of which enable visitors to embark on a magical sea voyage, can be found. Funchal really is a destination for lovers of the sea; as there are renowned surfing points, as well as being a great place to spot some whales.

Madeirans are also notorious for their elaborate festivals. If you’re travelling during the New Year, you will be treated to one of the world’s biggest Firework Festivals…a dazzling sight! During late February & early Mrach, you are able to witness Carnival and the streets of Funchal are lit with parades and festivities. If that’s not enough for you; the Atlantic Festival International Fireworks Competition, Wine Festival and Christmas are all noteworthy dates for anyone visiting Funchal.

There are some incredible villas on the island and we believe that we have done a great job finding them for you. Have a browse and let us know what you think.

Reviews

Superb Villa

Posted by Susan

Villa Martinho was delightful. Everything you could need -and more- was supplied, even pool towels. It was really good quality. Very clean and new. We loved the comfy beds, crisp, quality bed linen and really appreciated the American fridge freezer and ice machine. The pool was amazing! Perfect size, clean, with sun all day, and so nice that it was chlorine free. It was difficult to tear the children away from it! The outside space was bigger than the pictures show, with plenty of space for barbecue and lazing about. There was even a ping pong table in the basement. The owner met us at the villa and showed us round, and was on hand to call if needed (but everything worked so well we didn't need to!) We found we didn't need a car for our first time in Madeira, as the villa was centrally located, easy walking distance to town, Marina, Lido, restaurants and Promenade with a bus stop just a few steps away. On one neighbouring side of the villa there is an allotment type garden with chickens and a cockerel. We loved waking to the sound of the cockerel -it made us feel like we were truly away from it all. Finally we really appreciated not being overlooked in the pool or garden -which, with the hillside nature of Madeira, can be difficult to achieve. We hope to come back to Madeira and would happily stay in Villa Martinho again.

Great place to stay in Madeira!!

Great place to stay near great restaurants and bars on rua da casa branca. White House, hole in one and moynihans pubs all nearby. House is on a steep hill but near the bottom so no problems there. House is as described, lovely interior and and great outdoor with pool and bbq. Table tennis in the garage as well for those that like something to do. House is 5 mins from lido where you have lido complex, bars, buses restaurants etc. Also have aerobus at €5 which can take you to and from the airport in 40 mins. Adelino is efficient in responding to emails and really takes pride in his house. Won't hesitate to stay here
